I have eaten tinned moth, in Libya @Oldvatrwhat about these:
Termite Love it or hate it
Butter-fly
Hornets - a night cap
Beef moth (hors d'oeuvre)
Mosquitel a new type of grape
Cicadas - clearly an acquired taste
Yellow-jackets Not good for Type2's
Chafers' jelly
Cabbage White
Peppered moth
Waspic?
All tastes catered for!
Not Knowingly.Cochineal?
I blame Star Trek.
That's a shame, as I just had one with my coffee, I think.common house fly has undetectable amounts of B12 so probably not so good to eat.
Pretty much. Crustaceans and Insects aren’t quite the same thing, but are sister subgroups of the Arthropod classification.Aren’t shrimps and prawns the marine equivalent of the insect phyllum?
In north west Queensland we get swarms of big grass hoppers, the local bird life like them particularly the plains turkey or Australian Bustard eat them with relish.If locust swarms become common it would be a good idea to collect and process them as food for poultry, as chickens in particular are quite expensive to feed, if people are not keen on the idea of eating locust, chickens are highly enthusiastic.
Having driven through a locust swarm on several occasions, and having seen the mess they make on the windscreen and radiator, then I have no desire to consume these beasties. Same goes for yellowjackets. Nope!As someone with an interest in Biology, and living in the same house since 1981 I have been watching the climate change for decades - plus I have read and heard about catastrophic population crashes when day length and temperatures become mismatches - so that, for instance, birds do not find foods for their chicks when they have hatched them. That includes such things as insect larvae and sand eels.

Oi. Swearing...In north west Queensland we get swarms of big grass hoppers, the local bird life like them particularly the plains turkey or Australian Bustard eat them with relish.
I know several people who have eaten these birds that gorged on grasshoppers and the flesh gets a funny taste to it and not nice to eat.
Yeah, so we gorge ourselves on shrimps and prawns....Pretty much. Crustaceans and Insects aren’t quite the same thing, but are sister subgroups of the Arthropod classification.
No it is not @Listlad, I wondered who would be the first complainer that has no knowledge of Australian fauna...Oi. Swearing...

Just jesting of course.No it is not @Listlad, I wondered who would be the first complainer that has no knowledge of Australian fauna...

Fish nurseries can be and are being established in overfished areas. Not so much fish farming but providing the means of allowing the fish to regenerate in depleted areas.To get back on topic, I envisage we will soon be seeing severe curbs on fishing quotas, more Marine preservation areas, and return to the Icelandic Cod Wars. Unfortunately attempts to farm fish have been shown to be detrimental to the environment, so that is not a viable solution to the problem. Cessation of demand to preserve stocks will be next IMO.

You probably have eaten cochineal unknowingly. It's used as food colouring in many foods and drinks, and in lipstick. It will be listed in ingredients as E120.Not Knowingly.

By not knowingly I mean that I would not eat a food after being told it had bug powder in it. And besides, there is nothing in that picture that I would eat, my saying was 'no orange food from orange boxes'. Perhaps I should have said red.You probably have eaten cochineal unknowingly.
